The Famous Five is to be made into a TV series according to The Times newspaper.

The new series will find the five crime fighting children of the book, Julian, Dick, Anne and George as middle-aged men and women. Having grown up and gone their separate ways, the team are reunited to fight a new crime.

A source told The Times: “They would all be in middle age, perhaps some of them would be going through midlife crises.

“It will be interesting to see whether the characters have grown up to be like they were when they were children. Would George, the tomboyish one, now be glamorous and have lots of children? Would Anne, the sensible one, be dysfunctional?”
